Aaron sat on the birthing bed in a hospital gown, waiting. He was slightly above average in height, about 6' even, had a medium build, brown eyes, short, dark brown hair, and a goatee. He used to be clean shaven, but had grown a goatee during his pregnancy so that he wouldn't be mistaken for a butch woman due to the slight breast growth accompanying his pregnancy.
This was his first child, a girl assuming the ultrasound tech was right. He was in the early stages of labor, but his wife, Faith, insisted that he go to the hospital as soon as possible. This was Aaron's first child, and although he had never giving birth before, he wasn't nervous. His pregnancy had not had any complications, so he supposed that birth would go easily too.
Aaron had never expected that he would wind up pregnant. Although male pregnancy had been possible for a couple decades now, it was generally only used by gay couples, or if the wife was incapable of carrying a child, a rarity now that artificial wombs could be transplanted into anyone. Rather, Faith simply didn't want to carry the child. At first, Aaron thought her demand was absurd, but he eventually relented. There really wasn't any reason why he couldn't carry the child, and he didn't mind that Faith was spared the stretch marks. The pregnancy had gone relatively easy for Aaron. Sure, had suffered morning sickness, sore feet and legs, and the like, but nothing major went wrong, and his wife was supportive though the pregnancy, although he didn't complain much.
However, Faith has very important business meeting to attend this day. But, Aaron assumed the birth would not happen for several hours, maybe days. He was sure that Faith would be at the hospital before their daughter was born.
As Aaron lay in the bed waiting, the doctor entered.
